“We were inspired by the rise of modern Japanese fashion and its influence on future trends.
This collection channels a youthful street sensibility. a fusion of dynamic style, bold statements and unapologetic self-expression. Celebrating individuality, personality and creative freedom, each look explores a spectrum of textures, vivid colours and sculpted shapes.”

“This collection is my reflection of the strong, vivid colour predominately illustrated in the Japanese comic genre. The vision for this collection was born from the concept of Japanese street culture fused with manga influences. Creatively it was a fascinating concept to explore as the history behind this culture is so intrinsically reliant on colour in all its forms but especially the bold! I relished the opportunity to express my creativity with my interpretation of such an exciting and diverse subject.
From melted, blurry pastels to the strong, bold vivid shades. the variation and breadth of the palette really exaggerates and perfectly complements the undone textures of big, soft curls, brushed out dishevelled waves to the clean, blunt lines and smooth, glossy shine.”

There has been so much talk about Pantones colour of 2026 ‘CLOUD DANCER’ and I for one am totally here for it 🤍.

Now, we all know that Pantone predictions aren’t directly aimed at the hairdressing industry nor would we actually want it to be, personally I believe it to have more relevance to fashion, textiles and furnishings but as it’s always a huge buzz over socials I believe to ignore it would be a wasted opportunity.

CLOUD DANCER doesn’t necessarily mean plain white - there are so many variations of white and each provokes a different feeling. Stark white, creamy white, buttery white, pearl white - just to name a few. 

For me white is a strong symbol of peace and tranquillity, starting from fresh and new beginnings, calming and soothing, dreamy and day dreaming.

I’m totally a day dreamer and constantly looking up to the sky so CLOUD DANCER it’s a yes from me

“I wanted to celebrate confidence from a woman’s perspective.

I imagined each model as the distilled qualities of female empowerment, ambassadors of an elemental and commanding feminine Presence. This collection is called Parousia (the Greek word for Presence). Each look was used as a focal point to display core hairdressing techniques, to emphasise the strength of skill and how it is embodied by the models.”

“ICHI”, the debut collection from KIKU Salon. Named after the Japanese word for “one,” ICHI marks our first creative expression — a bold meeting point between Scottish strength and Japanese refinement. This collection is a hybrid of cultures, techniques, and textures, rooted in our belief that beautiful hair begins with individuality. Each look in ICHI explores the elegance of natural texture, shaped with precision and intention. From structured silhouettes to softly undone forms, we’ve embraced the character of real hair to create styles that feel both effortless and elevated. Drawing on our international background and local perspective, ICHI reflects the spirit of KIKU: quietly powerful, creatively sharp, and always listening.

A hair collection born from true teamwork, celebrating the power of collaboration, fashion, and shared creativity. Inspired by the iconic 90s campaigns- think CK One minimalism, attitude, and clean lines- this collection brings together a passionate collective of creatives to craft something bold, seamless, and modern.

Showcasing beautifully constructed hair, UNITY highlights how individual talents merge to create a single, powerful aesthetic. It’s a visual story of connection, authenticity, and the magic that happens when a team works as one.

‘Tribe’ is an exploration of silhouettes, textures, and definitions. This collection transports you to a dystopian future, capturing the essence of apocalyptic femininity with an androgynous touch. A cocktail of irregular textures and lengths, silhouettes and deliberately disconnected, choppy cuts are infused with muted, subtle tones to create a dominant, striking finish. ‘Tribe’ captivates with every look luring you in further.

Known for their unique style and influencing trends in cutting, colour and styling, this artistic team has creative development at the heart of their philosophy. Their team is the powerhouse behind their success – multi-disciplined and award-winning creatives that continually motivate and inspire. Never afraid to take the risks the team fuse classic and contemporary techniques with a blend of street fashion and haute couture.

The beauty of this style is its deceptive simplicity. This is not “just” a haircut.  It’s a square-layered shape with geo angles cut around the face accenting cheek bones and jaw line with a bold fringe that makes it instantly modern. 

What makes this cut truly special is its versatility. When hair is pulled into a ponytail, the face-framing pieces remain to give a short hair cut look highlighting the cheekbones and defining the jawline. It’s structured yet wearable. Fashion-forward yet easy. Powerful, without trying too hard. It’s geometry with attitude.

“This collection is a true collaboration of skills, personalities and artists of the Smartest73 Artistic Team and photographer Jamie Blanshard. The vision, born from the concept of Japanese street culture fused with manga influences, was a collective decision to explore. We all share a passion and fascination for the history behind this culture, so all relished the opportunity to create our interpretation of it. Originally shot in colour, our Synergy collection was changed to black and white to give a darker, moodier atmosphere. Contrasting darks to ultra lights enhance the strong undone textures of big, soft curls, brushed out dishevelled waves to the clean, blunt lines and smooth shine.

‘We wanted a really young, fresh feel that showcased the teams strengths as hairstylists, while also celebrating their youthfulness. The aim was for the collection to pop off the page and instantly capture your attention, it’s a statement piece announcing the birth of these young hairdressers and the exciting start of their careers’.

Tutti parlano della riforma del settore parrucchieri ed estetica
(DDL 1916 detto "ANCOROTTI" - agosto 2025)
e si dà per certo la sua già avvenuta approvazione :
NON E' COSI'.
TUTTO E' ANCORA DA DISCUTERE e ...
APPROVARE da CAMERA e SENATO.

Alcune fonti parlano di una possibile APPLICAZIONE
tra fine 2026 e 2027 se l'Iter va a buon fine.
Dopo l'approvazione serviranno comunque decreti attuativi
e tempi tecnici prima che le nuove regole diventino operative.
